Morris the Macaw

Morris the Macaw is inspired by my research into endangered animals. Whilst they are quite common in mainland South America they are on the verge of being extirpated in Paraquay.

I felt really free creating this paintings - it was exciting to let the hand do what it wanted and let Morris come alive. The blue and yellow Macaw has a complex mix of complementary colours that make a truly unique piece of artwork. Who’s ‘Morris’ I hear you ask?

Well, he’s just from my imagination but I do love to give my paintings rememberable names.
